Why folks tryin tae blame gordon kolo was shown up today but their goal was class if moult was consistent he would be a class act but anyway when we were 2 down i wasnt worried i just knew we would win best celtic team i have seen for years even when moussa is playinpish we still get the goals tae win such a great time tae be a tim n btw heard mcghee spat his dummy oot again dodged a bullet there lol.

If you watch it back, moussa played a few good passes after holding up to lead to goals.

Armstrong is looking a very good player, he seems to be everywhere in the games lately and pop's up with a goal or 2.

03 Dec 2016 20:42:12
Jurdie67: I have been saying since we got Armstrong that he was getting played out of position and when he was played where he is now, then we would get the player he really is . A very intelligent player indeed.

Play the Dundee United three.

What a game, what a manager, Rogic coming up with the winner playing the full 90 mins. Roberts looked better than of late only Toure looked out of sorts but he will be leaving. cannot complain about the first goal absolute cracker maybe offside and Toure and Isagurre could have done better. Second a clear foul on Lustig but again Toure got caught out. Third Armstrong could have done better and where was MacGregor.

Fantastic victory for the hoops, that 2nd half we were outstanding n just went out to win the game. 1st half two soft goals, toure and Gordon at fault for the 1st n toure got caught again for the 2nd.
Other than that we dominated n Roberts n rogic were the driving force, both were excellent and hey old Bhoy wee James continued the good form from last week, could have got a goal if his shot had been better but he was more direct n ran with the ball. Roberts took the header well n the ball for Armstrong was just quality from him. I felt as a whole the team played well as a team n we had some outstanding individual displays, Roberts n rogic and big shout out to big Simo I thought he had a blinder n when fit both him n big Erik must start. I also like Broony n Armstrong in there together n both played well as did McGregor when he came on n a lovely goal.
We've won the league again, fly the flag.
Quality game today n well done Brendan on changing things n getting the result, big result n performance today n I just can't get enough.
Here we go ten in a row.
Hail hail.

There was a definite Cup Final hangover in the first half and they caught us cold with a great early goal, but the positives from that second half far outweigh the negatives.
It's been a long time since I saw a Celtic team coming back TWICE in a second half - needing four goals to win and although there were a few outstanding performers on the pitch - the manager once again tweaks and pulls the strings and changes the whole game.
This fantastic result not only emphasises our intent and sets us up for a great weekend - but it's a pure sickener for the rest and will do a lot of psychological damage to rivals and media detractors.

Bigshaw, Gordon at fault? Are u having a laff.

03 Dec 2016 16:31:47
Jonace i don't see why the first goal was anything to do with izaguirre toure was the only one at fault for that goal.

03 Dec 2016 16:36:14
Motherwell have put in thier game of the season coupled with some of thier best goals of the season. We didn't show up till the second half with 3 form starters out and last year's top scorer ill and we still done it. Big statement today lads.

03 Dec 2016 16:38:12
Iza could have come round on the cover in case it when over Toure head that is how good defenders cover.

03 Dec 2016 16:39:07
11 in 67, your spot on bud, we were OK in the 1sthalf in terms of being comfortable n while Motherwell got in about us apart from two mistakes for the goals I wasn't overly worried if u no what I mean? We definitely could play better n go more on the front foot in we did in that 2nd half. That was a Celtic performance the Celtic way, attacking, good play, keeping them hemmed in n playing for the jersey and everybody did that.
We created good angles n passing in the final 3rd n cut them open at the right times. Roberts I have been shouting about for a while, thought he was excellent, the ball through for Armstrong was exquisite, took his header really well n folk on here were giving it he can't go outside, well he did so a number of times today but he also found success when he came inside. Forrest showed good energy n looked more of a threat on the ball, while I have my own thoughts I hope he does kick on n has a storming season, good game again today. Again old Bhoy I've given James more credit as I back every Celtic player n manager.
Said it earlier but big Simo has been a rock for us, specially alongside big Erik, played well again today n at points was a left winger haha which makes me wonder why the hell did we try n sell him to Torino the little I had saw of him under Rd, n Rd rated him n always played him when fit, I knew he was a player n I'm really glad he's fit n getting to show that. Rogic outstanding again n lasted more than 90 minutes, so much for not being able to do a full 90.
Hail hail.

Lustig rolling about holding his ankle and pretending he's hurt then getting straight back up when he never got the free kick really annoyed me at their second goal. Get up and get on with it and moan at the referee once you've cleared the danger! A proper bugbear of mine.

03 Dec 2016 16:47:18
Fatman Gordon was in no man's land again n got lobbed for that error. Toure was mainly at fault, wasn't tight enough n let the flight of the ball n when he is running back should then get across the striker n get goalkeeper to force him wide. Gordon however if he is coming out then he should have been right out n at the striker, whereas for me he should have went back to his line, hat way he can't be lobbed, toure has time to then try n get across the striker to try and put the boy off his shot n Gordon then is in a better position to save at either side of the goal as the boy would be shooting from wide with a smaller target to aim for. So yes you're n Gordon both at fault as both should have made it harder for the striker to score.
2nd goal felt it was a foul on lustig n toure again gets caught under the ball.
But other than that the positives outweigh the negatives n I was delighted with that victory n the 2nd half performance especially.
Hail hail.

03 Dec 2016 16:49:55
I meant rayman, not Fatman haha bloody predictive text.

{Ed007's Note - (rofl)

03 Dec 2016 17:19:52
Honestly Ed it just picks random words, I have to go back n change so much yet still miss other typos haha
Loved today, reminded of that fighting performance fighting spirit of celtic throughout the years n it meant so much to the players staff n us fans.
Hail hail.

{Ed007's Note - It was a great performance today, well the 2nd half but for the first time since MON's days I was confident that we could win it.}

03 Dec 2016 19:16:12
Ed it reminded me of under Mon too, also of celtic of my youth in the era of Aitken, mcstay, mcavennie, miller, i was 8 in our centenary year n my dad always had tapes of celtic n vinyl (wolfetones, n a Celtic LP holy ground I'm sure it was called n i still have both) , the celtic story was a personal favourite of mine, which I still have on video n the centenary side under big billy were a personal favourite of mine in terms of teams we have had at any one time in history. that Joe miller goal in the cup final still puts me back to being a wee kid celebrating with just sheer joy, same as mcavennie against Dundee united, we were never beaten. That was the same type of performance we got today n it was another special day.
Hail hail.

{Ed007's Note - I think everyone's got that Holy Ground LP :-D

Jonace McGregor's position was on the right hand side of midfield in the second half
I just cannot understand why you were asking where he was for there 3rd goal.

04 Dec 2016 11:05:48
Some good tunes on it although my fave was always the wolfetones, so many beautiful songs as well as quality tunes. Streets of new York I just adored, was over in salou a few years ago in Danny bhoys n a boy was playing it acoustic in there, loved it. They also had an Elvis impersonator who rode in on a motorbike which was hilarious just as well stokesy wasn't there haha
Hail hail.

04 Dec 2016 12:13:41
Great game, loved it! Jonice why so negative talking about the goals we lost, why not talk about the ones we scored and give out plaudits for them.

04 Dec 2016 16:12:28
Kevbhoy Instead of sneering at Lustig, Celtic fans prefer to look at the facts . Lustig was kicked on the boot, and his boot clearly deflected the ball . A free kick and yellow card every day of the week . I even think Craig Thompson would have gave it 😄😀.

03 Dec 2016 14:18:39
Rogic will be pushing for POTY if he continues at this rate. Is ge approaching full fitness.
To be honest 2 players that I would have shifted also playing well, Forrest and Armstrong.
Strengthen all round without really making wholesale changes. Rodgers will keep tweaking. Things can only get better.

03 Dec 2016 18:23:21
See what happens when you play armstrong in hos rightful position. No bitton in the middle of park to slow the game down why didn't deila see this last season?

04 Dec 2016 11:54:03
Rogic is just class.

03 Dec 2016 13:04:12
Andy walker he was a rubbish player and he is a rubbish commentator how can he not see that was a foul on lustig.

03 Dec 2016 16:25:42
The ball broke in the direction of the tackle so mabey at full speed you could say the ref had a 50/ 50 choice. Walker only backtracked after the 10th slow motion replay. clown.

04 Dec 2016 11:46:12
He wasn't a rubbish player. He us a rubbish commentator mind.
